Re: How to access FoxPro DBF tables using wxWidgets on Windows?
joseph...@thomson.com
If the DBF file format used by Foxpro was the same as the dbase format, then you might be able to use the dbf library at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbase/
There are other projects on http://sourceforge.net and http://freshmeat.net if you search on “DBF” or “Foxpro”.

considered using another language?
If you only want to have a Windows version the good old VB6 is going to
let you code much faster than C++.
Even a .NET language will be a much faster development solution.
I am exploring a way to write a database application with wxWidgets, but
I want to be able to support other platforms and I do not want to have
anything to do with Microsoft tools anymore (other than the C++
compiler). From this point of view wxWidgets is a good solution, but if
you have other requirements there are other tools and languages that let
you develop much more quickly.
